Thanks Mark and Jim. Appreciate the comments!  
I'm waiting for the focus peak update that Howard was talking about as well. 
The focus through the viewfinder does not seem too difficult to me at this 
point. 
I think the 90 version I have is a bit heavy on the front end....especially 
the chrome model.  Obviously the camera does not have the body heft as the M 
body does to balance things out but it's not totally bad. 
I know everyone on the list is not into these models that Fuji are selling 
but it really is amazing how far the manufacturers have come in the past two 
or three years. I think it all bodes well for photographers in general. 
And Mark, I too love the older Gitzo heads. 

Scott
